Re: Chinewalk?

It happens in very fast boats 70 plus. The boat has mostly air under the boat and boat will rock from one chime to the other. The boat is mostly riding on the prop contact and rocking from side to side or chime to chime. It is a feeling that the boat could go airborn or flip. Slowing down is a good thing.

And that about sums it up. I dont intend to get myself in that situation !!!

I don't think it has to be 70+..........but its easier that way. I think it can happen anytime you are pushing the hull to the limit either by being overpowered or poorly set-up etc....
